My sister sends out a family newsletter every week. This last week she asked each of us to finish the statement, "I wish". Other than wishing I were in Oregon holding my new niece the first thing I thought about was, "I wish I were on a getaway with just my husband". Of course at the moment I already had a few ideas and one consisted of packing the above and going to the English countryside.

The above is Lime Wood, a boutique country house hotel in England. It is set in the heart of New Forest National Park, just an hour and half drive from London. I would actually welcome the chance of precipitation that is so common in those parts.

You and I both are dreaming of escapes today--mine, to colonial Mexico. Although, I do dig this spot you have found across the pond, so they say. One of these days I'd like to bathe in front of a fireplace...that is, after I get fat, cheat on my husband, and divorce him, and take half his money to buy an old crumbly English estate.

I have to say that I didn't read "bolt hole". See? Disgusting American woman.

Roofs in England are perfectly designed - it fascinates me a lot. I'm gonna change the roof of my house soon and I'm gonna print-out the 3rd picture and show those amazing gables to my roofing contractor. Vancouver has a lot of good houses with beautiful roofs, really - but I have no clue how do they make it work. I think my contractor can make me a similar roof as these English houses since roofing contractors (BC-area) are good with their work.

About Me

The title Full House pretty much sums up my life. If you've ever played with dice or the game Yahtzee then possibly you've rolled a Full House. As luck would have it in the game of life I rolled out twin girls and triplet boys. What am I doing blogging...I should be in Vegas winning money for diapers. If I really hit the jackpot I'd hire Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse to move in and help out.
Oh and I like to associate life's happenings with home decor. I like parties & to fit in a craft every once in a while.
